12 TEAM MEMBERS TAB Once assigned as the case manager by the ISC, case managers must add IEP team members for each student on their caseload. Team members will be able to view IEPs of students they are assigned to and will autopopulate meeting notices; therefore, appropriate staff members who will need to view IEPs and be invited to IEP team meetings should be added to the list of team members at the beginning of each year.

Team members may be deleted by selecting the red DELETE in the last column. 12

13 TIMELINES TAB The Timelines page lists all state and federally mandated event dates for each student, when available. The timelines page is the GO TO page to quickly check student status and it drives the rest of the GOIEP application by determining what meetings need to be held, when IEPs should be written, and other timelinerelated tasks. The timelines page itself is not editable by the case manager, but is auto-populated from other fields within the GOIEP application and SR information from the DOE. 1. Student Information o IEP lapse date/primary & Secondary Disability fill from IEP. 2. Countdown o Provides live countdown of days left to complete evaluation/re-evaluation/iep. 3.

15 HOW TO VERIFY IMPORTED TIMELINE DATES AND COMPLETE THE OVERRIDE TIMELINES PAGE THE TIMELINES VERIFICATION PAGE WAS ADDED JULY, 2013 TO ALLOW SYSTEMS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDIT EVENT DATES SUBMITTED IN STUDENT RECORD THE PREVIOUS YEAR OR ADD EVENT DATES WHICH WERE NOT SUBMITTED AS PART OF STUDENT RECORD. ALL EVENT DATES SHOULD BE VERIFIED FOR ACCURACY USING THE STUDENT S PAPER OR ELECTRONIC FILE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE ACCURACY IN THE VERIFICATION PROCESS BECAUSE ONCE SUBMITTED, THE DOE MUST BE CONTACTED IN ORDER TO MAKE ANY CHANGES. 1. BEFORE BEGINNING AN IEP OR ELIGIBILITY IN GOIEP, THE OVERRIDE TIMELINES PAGE MUST BE SUBMITTED EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT CHANGES. 2. CASE MANAGERS SHOULD COMPLETE THE IEP CASELOAD VERIFICATION FORM AND IF NO CHANGES ARE REQUIRED ON THE TIMELINES OVERRIDE PAGE, THE CASE MANAGER AND/OR ISC MAY SUBMIT THE FORM WITH NO CHANGES. IN THIS CASE, THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT FOR A SYSTEM ADMIN TO VERIFY THE SUBMISSION. 15
